Exclusion & MCIR

Eligible professionals and hospitals may attest exclusion to the immunization meaningful use objective if the immunization information system's public health agency deems the system does not have the capacity to receive immunization data.

MDCH has determined MCIR has the capacity to receive immunization data in accordance with the established meaningful use vocabulary and content exchange standards. Therefore, all eligible professionals and hospitals administering immunizations in Michigan do not qualify for exclusion to the meaningful use objective of capability to submit electronic data to immunization information systems.

Questions related to any of the public health related meaningful use objectives, including whether or not exclusion can apply to a certain provider, can be sent to DCHPublicHealthMU@michigan.gov.

Note: Claims for exclusion are done during the registration process for both Medicaid and Medicare.
